Should any game that encourages gun-violence be removed from Steam?

[AggressiveHibernation]

The best way to discourage children from purchasing firearms/school shootings and ceasing the largest cause for child deaths in the US would be to encourage companies that allow gun-violence toys and simulations to be banned.

This would drop child deaths by huge numbers and force other companies to follow suite if Steam led the way.

A simple yes or no in the comments:

- Yes I support steam removing gun-violence encouraging games

- No I want to keep gun-violence encouraging games on Steam

The go-to lack of argument anyone who loses an argument always resorts to. Blocked.

Way to completely ignore the rest of my post so you could invalidate it by quoting the first 5 words.

That confirms it. Troll. Reported.

I very much doubt the effect. The same violent videogames are played in pretty much every western country, yet the number of school shootings / mass shootings in the US does not compare to pretty much any other country (~73% of all mass schootings happen in the US).

There is no easy solution, no single root to that problem, certainly not banning any sort of media (Dungeons & Dragons, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, videogames, violent movies and comics have all been used as a scapegoat to blame for gun violence)

Encourage scientists, politicians et alii to look for problems in society that allow this kind of violent behavior to flourish and work on solving those problems.

Do not look for a scapegoat, sacrifice it and expect things to get better.

This thread is LITERALLY about games that do...

Except games literally don't do that, and the supreme court of the United States has even ruled that they don't. A game is just a game. You don't see me going around casting meteor on people or running around with a sword slashing people after playing Final Fantasy.....

Although since you repeatedly are editing my quotes to remove what I am typing i'll send that to moderators and let them deal with it.

Where? Where has the SCOTUS EVER said games don't encourage violence? If you mean the current illegitimate SCOTUS, that isn't an argument.

I never reported you.

Sure you didn't, you just threatening to ban me without falsely reporting. Sure.

Strange how you're still replying and derailing the thread despite being blocked. Why are you actively following me around?

You immediately jump in and claim i'm a troll for opposing child deaths. You have nothing else to reply to, stop derailing the thread, you've been blocked. Continue to do so and i'll report.

I never threatened to ban you. I don't have that power. I don't need to report you at all because I know others will.

I don't follow anyone around. You just looked extremely sus with your question.

There is no reason for Valve to ban games with guns.

If you want a ban on games with guns, take it to court.

There's literally an entire section entitled "shooters" in case you haven't been on Steam long.

Dungeons & Dragons

Comparing D&D to killing someone, something D&D has literally never done, is ridiculous.

So media cannot even feature use of firearms? Does use of firearms automatically mean it encourages real world violence?

Do you have a tangible link between playing shooters and gun violence?

[Start_Running]

Wouldn't that be... like anything that isn't a racing, farming, or sports sim. yeah no thanks m8. And if you actually have an interest in preventingkids accessing guns and school shootings then ye should ghet your government to doi what's worked for every country that doesn't have mass shootings at least once a week.

Your not very aware of history it appears...

D&D has been falsely associated with and claimed to cause Satansim, Witchcraft, Suicide, Murder, etc. Just like video games funnily enough....

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

violent video games don't encourage violence in real life , kids know the difference between real lifes and video games fantasy.

there has been many studies and the majority of them came on this conclusion.

Do you know the difference between encouraging gun-violence and simply showing a gun? Literally not the same.

What world do you live in that 99% of the games on Steam are shooters?

It's incredible that you would write all that done, state quite clearly D&D was not only FALSELY accused but never actually causing a death EVER and then equate that to real life gun deaths.

Suggest you re-read post #8 where I posted a link that contained their ruling that they found no connection behind violent video games and aggressive behavior and that no one could make a reasonable assumption that there was a link based on the evidence.

D&D also have firearms.
